It's a Bedroom, not a Boardroom: Protect Your Relationship from being Damaged by Business Strategy

It's a Bedroom not a Board Room provides specific communication skills for business leaders and their partners. As a psychologist for over 30 years, Dr. Lois Nightingale discovered that the more natural business tactics were for her clients, often the more difficulty they had connecting with loved ones at home. When trouble showed up in other areas of life, they'd wrangled it into submission, usually at a profit. When they finally landed in therapy they were on the verge of ending another relationship, financing another divorce, or facing the thing they hated most: failure. It was as if they were trying to find their way around New York City with a map of Chicago. The map was accurate, but when applied to a different city it was misleading, even dangerous. Finding one's way around with an inappropriate map is impossible, yet that's what many couples try to do when they apply the skills they've come to trust in business to their personal intimate relationships. This book is an instruction guide for people who've been using a great map, but in the wrong arena. This book provides a useful map that will get you where you want to be on the relationship field. Dr. Nightingale shares the specific strategies she teaches entrepreneurs, executives and their partners in therapy. These are outlined against the backdrop of her own family's history of business in America and her own personal relationship journey. Read about what she tells her clients behind closed doors who ask why their personal relationships are falling apart when they're so effective in other areas of their lives, then put these skills into practice in your own life and watch your relationship improve.
